Added some Farkles to my 2009 V-Star 650 Classic

I brought her up to the Silverado package with the addition of the luggage rack, Silverado saddlebags and mounts, Baron highway bar, Silverado Windshield with mounts and a handlebar clock. Pics below. Ride safe.

I generally don't really like white bikes...........but must admit that you have that one lookin' fine !!

A couple of comments:
Keep an eye on that right side bag; it appears to be dangerously close to the pipe.

You may find that your windshield is mounted with too much rake angle. Those bottom tabs will likely carve out a "hole" in the air and the inrush to fill it might hit you right in the chest or face.......from the bottom up. I think I've finally got that figured out.......but it took me nearly 20 years !! :shocked:

That is one sweet looking bike! Thanks for sharing the pics. :2tup:

My V-star is considerably less shiny than yours. So much Chrome. So little motivation for polishing it. Need to find a flexible car wash.

Looks deadly man

is that a lumix i see?

[BusyWeb]

Bike looks really classical, and elegant color.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. The only other thing I want to add is the passing lights and shades over the lights but that will have to wait until my boat sells.

ER - The right saddle bag has clearance over the pipes. The mounts for those bags are an external pipe frame. There is a pipe frame under the saddlebag. As for the windshield you can't adjust the rake. You can adjust it up or down but the rake is the same as the forks with the Yamaha mounts. So far no problems. I've heard of some problems with air coming in over the headlight and causing turbulence but thats the reason I went with the tall windshield (it comes in short 16" and tall 21"). I have it set at it's lowest setting which is perfect for me and no opening over the headlight.

Alan, yes the chrome is going to need attention. Now if I can only keep the motivation up to keep it shining. lol

Virrin...uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....what's a lumix?

I don't know, but if you cross your eyes just right, you can see it in 3D :)

As for the windshield you can't adjust the rake.

That's good news and bad news. Those fork mounts are REALLY sturdy (good) but the fixed angle might turn out to be not so good. Only time will tell.

If wind coming in from the bottom does create a problem, it might help to actually leave more space above the headlight. A little wind coming in there sometimes helps to break the "vacume" behind the shield and keep the deflected air out where you want it.

If you have the perfect mounting location on the first try you are EXTREMELY lucky !! :)

My dad used to say, "sometimes it is better to be lucky than good."

Lumix is a camera, so Mole2 I guess you don't have one, or you didn't take those shots.
Did you guys notice in that bottom picture there are at least nine images of the photographer!
